International Sustainable Development (ISD) is an interdisciplinary, pre-professional program that combines liberal arts classes in global development issues with applied learning from courses in economics, 业务, 健康科学, 环境研究, 和神学. The ISD major provides students with a firm theoretical foundation in sustainable global development and also professional and technical skills in global development management. The ISD major aims at bridging the gap between theory and practice through developing hands-on project 管理技能 and engaging students with both hypothetical and real-world problems. You will understand global development challenges and the means to resolve them at both the local and global levels from a Christian perspective.

The ISD major equips you with a comparative understanding of development in both developed and developing nations through directed study, 应用技能培训, 分析研究, and direct cross-cultural experiences including an internship experience with local and international development organizations.

The ISD curriculum consists of four categories: global development studies, 辅助学科, 管理技能, 研究技能.
